egregious behavior as something done for his true believers. Meanwhile, the actions his administration takes are basically everything the R's claimed they wanted to do election after election and now we have someone in place who is doing it. (Disbanding the Dept of Education? I've known public teachers in South Georgia who drank the Kool-aid on that decades ago)

And I guess that's why middle of the road, middle-upper class white R's have no problem with all of this.
